... the witches, it does not show phisically, perhaps the biggest example of devaluation of the female gender role occurs in Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth showed many features that attributed to her reversed gender role. Her " obdurate strength of will and masculine firmness give her ascendancy over her husband's faltering virtue".3 She was considered great because once she had it in her mind what she wanted her unflinching determination in getting it was superior to all others. "The magnitude of her resolution almost covers the magnitude of her guilt"4 At first Lady Macbeth would seem to hold a resemblance to the witches in her personality. Both pushed Macbeth to ...

... Macbeth! that shalt be King hereafter. (Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 48-50) With this information Macbeth was provided with incentive to kill Duncan the King of Scotland. He was tempted into believing that if the King was murdered, he was to become what the witches predicted. While the witches never said this, Macbeth assumed that that was what they meant and the subsequent murder of Duncan was carried out by Macbeth himself, but, he also ordered special murderers to kill Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children. The murder and bloodshed had absolutely nothing to do with the witches. Macbeth acted totally out of his own will and b ...

... deeper into debt, and they had to pledge the next year’s crop as payment. Sharecropping soon became a thing of the past. Mechanical cotton pickers were invented, which worried sharecroppers. These machines could greatly do more work than by hand, and would be cheaper than to pay field hands to work for them. So the sharecropping was obsolete, and African Americans were driven out of their jobs and even homes. This lead to the migration of African Americans. It was hard for them, because they did not want to leave their families and communities. Chicago seemed to be the most common place to go, because of the highways and trains lead straight to there. Chic ...

... In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to the servants when she say ...

... line. His objective is constantly to make Othello think things without actually being told them, and Iago’s parroting of the word and constant useage do this quite nicely. Iago initially uses the word honest to mean honourable, in reference to Cassio. Othello has asked him if “he [Cassio] is not honest?” To which Iago parrots back “Honest my lord?” This usage is constant with what Othello means, whether Cassio is honourable or not.

By parroting it back, he is making it seem to Othello that he does not want to answer the question, that he doesn’t want to tell Othello something. This is seen in the sub ...
